Chapter 3: The Sleepover (Part 1)
One day after his date with Ronnie Anne; Lincoln was heading home with Clyde from Flip's. Clyde couldn't help but ask his bff about his date. "Say Lincoln, what happened yesterday? You and Ronnie Anne are trending on social media." Lincoln chuckled and saw on Clyde's phone; the picture of him and Ronnie Anne hugging, trending as cosplay lovers. "To be honest, I didn't know what the rom-com was going to be. But when I saw the opening, I was in disbelief." Clyde nods as he knew it was pure coincidence. "You know by Monday, you'll be teased non-stop. Hope you're ready for all of it Lincoln." Lincoln nods as he sips his Flippie. "Trust me, the classmates are the least of my worries. My sisters, (He sighed) that's a different story."
[ Flashback to The Sibling meeting, early in the morning ]
Lori and her sisters, including Sam; was watching the conversation between Lincoln and Sam. They were at first stunned that Lincoln would spill his guts. But would aww in delight, hearing all of the juicy details and confessions about the date. Lori giggled as she was still in disbelief her brother didn't see a camera. "Sam, I still can't believe that Lincoln told you everything. Even with a camera in plain sight." Sam smiled as she was having fun with the loud sisters. "I have conversations with my brother; whenever he needed some advice. And he always enjoy the conversations. (She laughed as she can still remember the look on Lincoln's face.) Plus, I could tell he was on cloud nine. So he was easily distracted by what happened earlier." Lori nods, but Lynn Jr. was getting anxious waiting for her brother. "When is he getting up? We were supposed to tease him royally!" Luna smiled as she ruffled her hair. "Later LJ. Besides, mom and dad will probably give him the 'talk'." The girls nod as that would be more awkward than them teasing him.
Lincoln woke up and looked around and wondered why was he in Luna's and Luan's room. But remembered he was in there because Luna and Sam were using Lincoln's room. "Well time to start this wonderful day." As he got off the bed, he tripped a wire; and a pie would hit face. "Luan!" The sisters and Sam laughed as they heard him scream. "Rise and Pie little brother!" Luan chuckled as she couldn't contain herself. Lori grinned as she ended the sister's meeting. "Once he's cleaned up we can chat with him." They nods and would just wait patiently for him to clean up. After about 5 minutes, Lincoln got out of the bathroom; fully clothed and gasped at his sister's; plus Sam as well. "Uh hi..." They would mob him as they were so happy for him. They hugged him, but teased him about his date and potential wedding plans."
[ End of Flashback ]
Clyde laughed as he was thankful to be an only child. "Sorry Lincoln, but your right about your sisters. At least at school it will pass." Lincoln sighed but nods. "Your right about that one; but I just wish it's a different story back home." Clyde nods as they would head home.
Meanwhile on the roof of the Casagrandes apartment; Ronnie Anne was just finished with her daily K-pop dancing with Sid. Sid was about to tease her bestie about her date; when she saw a pair of tree swallows. "Oh cool, tree swallows! I guess it's their migration." Ronnie Anne looked at the birds; when she saw her parrot Sergio. "Sergio, what are you doing here with the birds?" Sergio cawwed as he smirked. "Say, can my friends come over to visit?" Ronnie Anne thought it was just these two and nods. "Sure Sergio." Sid wanted to say no, but it was too late. Sergio whistled and a swarm of tree swallows would be on the roof. And it was a party going on. As Ronnie Anne and Sid would manage to escape down the fire escape; they heard a scream, and it was Ronnie Anne's abuela (grandma) in danger. They rush back upstairs and saw her apartment in one piece. But abuela Rosa had to board up the windows. "Girls, I'm glad your safe! What is going on here?" Ronnie Anne answered "Tree Swallow migration. And I thought Sergio had just two. But..." Rosa nods as it was going to be hard to sleep or concentrate. "For the meanwhile I have already informed all tenants to use umbrellas when exiting and entering the apartment." Sid nods, considering her days helping mom with the birds at the zoo.
Carlos, Ronnie Anne's uncle had a suitcase packed up. "Ronnie Anne, pack your stuff. We have to crash at your dad's place for three days." Ronnie Anne nods, but wavered. That look caught the eye of her mother Maria. "What's wrong sweetie? I thought you would enjoy a weekend with your father." Ronnie Anne nods, but pulls her mom to her room. She closed the door and answers. "I know I know. But... (She was pressing her index fingers multiple times.) Is it possible to head to Royal Woods and..." Maria grinned as she would call Lori. She would think to herself. "Couldn't wait to be with your boyfriend huh."
A couple of minutes later at the Loud Residence; Lori was in the kitchen, getting a drink from the fridge, when she got a phone call from Maria. "Hello, oh hello Ms. Santiago, how are you? (She heard the situation and couldn't believe it. She nearly wanted to leap on the kitchen table and dance.) I'll be there shortly and we'll have plenty of space; goodbye! (Lori somehow pulls out a whistle, and all of the Loud sisters and Sam, minus Lily, we're in the kitchen.) Everyone, we have a major assignment that is of the udder importance! I want you all to clean the attic." LJ shrugged at this announcement and lets her have it. "Why? It's not spring cleaning. The attic is fine." Luna nods and chimes in. "Yea sis, why is it important for us to clean? Aren't you cleaning too?" Lori smiled and answers. "No, because I have to head to the city to pick up Ronnie Anne. She will be staying with us for the weekend; until her apartment is bird free."
The girls realized what Lori said and in an instant; they returned with cleaning stuff. The loud sisters and Sam shouted. "Lets clean the Attic! And grill Ronnie Anne!" They would leave to head to the Attic. Lori would leave in Vanzilla to head to the city. Rita and Lynn Sr. overheard the commotion and chimes in. "Why couldn't they be excited when we ask them to clean." Rita smirked and kissed her hubby's cheek gently; while holding onto Lily. "They are cleaning the Attic without us telling them. It's a win for us!" He nods and had an idea. "Want to watch cute pets wearing hats?" Rita smiled and replied "Do I!"
Lincoln and Clyde were near Lincoln's house; when Vanzilla appears right by them. Lori honked the horn as she opens the passenger side door. "Get in Lincoln!" Lincoln rushed inside as he thought it was an emergency. "See you late..." He didn't finished as the van went into high gear. Clyde blinked as he shook his head. "Oh boy I'm thankful I'm an only child." He would head home, knowing it was going to be crazy. Lincoln puts on his seatbelt as he was wondering what was going on. "Lori, what's the rush? And where are we going?" Lori calmed down her speedy driving. She smiled and would answer her brother. "We're heading to the city to pick up Ronnie Anne." Even he was surprised and had to ask. "Really? Why Lori?" She giggled and answers him. "Well her apartment is overrun with birds. And she asked if she could stay over. (She saw him nods, but couldn't help seeing him blush.) Don't worry, we'll be nice to your girlfriend." Lincoln shook it off as he would check his phone to see if Ronnie Anne was ok.
About 30 minutes later, Lori would arrive at the Casagrandes apartment. Both she and Lincoln gasped at the rooftop. It was a bird party to end all parties! "What the heck is that?! (Even Lincoln couldn't believe the madness. Ronnie Anne gave a text to Lincoln that she was ready.) Alright Lori, going to pick up Ronnie Anne." Lori nods, but was a bit nervous. "Be careful little brother." Lincoln nods but chimed in. "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to..." Before he could finish, he got the mother of all bird droppings; and he was covered from head to toe. Ronnie Anne who waited by the door; laughed as she saw him caked in bird goo. "Oh Lincoln, should have told you about the umbrella." He sighed as Lori couldn't help laugh, and take a picture of her brother.
About 20 minutes of cleaning; and nearly a lifetime of embarrassment later; Lori would drive the two love "birds" back to Royal Woods. In the van, Ronnie Anne couldn't help but chuckle at her boyfriend. "Sorry Lincoln, have to admit, you'll have a lifetime of good luck now." He nods but replied. "Or a lifetime of diseases. I'll see Lisa about a few antibiotics." She chuckled as she punched his shoulder. "Well Lame-o, you always keep me laughing." She blushed as she couldn't say more; considering Lori was there. He noticed her and gives her a hug. "It's okay, it will be three days of torture for the two of us." They both chuckled as Lori could only have a huge smile on her face; seeing her brother with a girlfriend. Once they arrived, they would see the Loud sisters come on out and immediately take Ronnie Anne inside the house. Lisa who didn't care for such relationship nonsense, came up to her brother. "I received your text message and (She shoves a pill in his mouth) this should cure you of whatever diseases; those filthy "city" birds did to you." Lincoln gagged at the pill as it was super bitter. "A little warning next time!" Lisa smiled as she adjusted her glasses. "My apologies dear elder brother. But most of the good medicine don't taste good. At least you'll be immune for quite a while." She walks off as he would follow suit; carrying Ronnie Anne's bags. He can't imagine what his sisters will do to Ronnie Anne.
This was not Ronnie Anne's first time in the Loud house. Her family had to stay over after they thought their Great Lakes city was "cursed" by Ernesto Estrella. She couldn't believe that this time was she would be staying here for the weekend. Plus she knew, she was going to be asked at nauseum about her boyfriend. "So, who is going to ask me first?" She figured, get it out of the way before the madness can continue. "Hi there Ronnie Anne, I'm Lola. (She got in front of the crowd and faced Ronnie Anne) How about you and I talk over tea. And maybe during tea, we can talk about makeovers!" Ronnie Anne smiled and nods. "Sure on the Tea. But not on the makeover. (She chuckled) Sorry my cousin Carlota has been trying to make me over for years; and it won't happen now." Lola pouted "Who passes up on a beauty pageant makeover!" Lana, her twin laughed as she was next to her twin. "Don't worry about little miss perfect. She just wanted to "try" to see if she make someone like her...a clown!" Lola growled and the two would end up in a fight. Its' a twin thing, but they get over it after each fight. Ronnie Anne chuckled as she couldn't believe that and knew her cousins were almost alike.
"Yo, Ronnie Anne, you have a second? Me and Sam would like to show you something." Ronnie Anne was curious and followed the two upstairs to Lincoln's room. She was curious as she would see a laptop in the bed. "What's going on?" Luna would click play, as Ronnie would hear about their date. She chuckled as she couldn't believe Lincoln would tell...let alone be filmed at the same time. "Does he know that he was filmed?" She couldn't help but wipe a tear from her laughing. Sam smirked as she nods. "No Ronnie Anne, he was on cloud 9 when I spoke to him. (She grinned as she looked at her.) So the kiss, long time coming or a bunch of make up kisses?" Ronnie Anne blushed as she couldn't believe that question. She would try to answer with a straight face. Though her body expressions would say otherwise. "Just for a great evening...nothing more."
Luna giggled as she was like Ronnie Anne; the first time she had a crush on Sam. So she wouldn't add on to the madness. However had one question to ask. "Of all people to be with, why my bro?" Luna was only asking out of concern; being the older sister and all. She wants to make sure Lincoln is happy with his girlfriend. Ronnie Anne smiled as she couldn't believe she's about to spill her guts.
"Well, to be honest he's a great guy. He's always so positive, helpful. (She chuckled, trying to explain to Luna and Sam.) I thought he was interesting with that white hair. I thought he was one of those punk rockers." Luna chuckled and had to answer that hair question. "You see Ronnie Anne, the reason for the white hair is that he got it from his grandpa, pop pop." Luna would find a picture of her grandpa in Lincoln's drawer; and shows it to her. Ronnie Anne couldn't believe it and smiled. "Wow, out of all of you guys, except Sam, he's the only one with all white hair?" Luna nods and replies"That's right. And he is into rock and roll, a huge Smooch fan. Maybe the two of you can start a band and make beautiful music together." Sam chuckled, trying to hold it in. But Ronnie Anne caught on and glared. "Why are you laughing Sam?" Sam composed herself and explained. "Well it is a play on words, considering that 'make beautiful music together' also means you have a romantic relationship."
Ronnie Anne blushed as she couldn't believe that double meaning. But had to chuckle. "I think I would flop on the band. No offense my abuelo would crush it on stage. (Luna nods, remembering that duet with him on Thanksgiving.) But I think my passion would be in the kitchen. (Sam and Luna said at the same time. "Really!") Yea, my abuela is teaching me the ropes, and getting good at it." Luna smiled and hugs her. "Maybe you can sneak in some goodies during my dad's goulash night." Ronnie Anne smirked. And chuckled "I'll try, no promises though. (She smiled but had one question for them.) Not for nothing, but any advice on you know...the whole relationship thing? (She poked her index fingers multiple times.) How does one know when...you know?" Sam and Luna nods as Sam would answer. "You and Lincoln just started. So plenty of time to figure things out as you progress. (She blushed as she looked at Luna for a moment.) My advice is to just enjoy the time you have with each other; and try not to compare or rush into what other couples are doing."
Ronnie Anne smiled and hugs them both. "Thanks, and where will me and Lincoln be sleeping?" Luna would get up and show her. "Well, you and Lincoln will be in the attic." She would pull the string" to reveal the 'staircase'; and soon Ronnie Anne would see a clean attic; with an air mattress and some pillows. She smiled as she went back down to hug Luna. "Thank you very much. Though I just hope not to hit anyone if I have to go." Luna smiled and replied. "Nah, as long as it is before 9am, you're fine. Plus it's one night here, before you and Lincoln share his room." Ronnie Anne was confused by that statement. "Wait, I thought you were staying here for the weekend." Sam would reply. "Nope, we have two gigs in the city; so the room will be Lincoln's once again." Ronnie Anne nods as at least they will have a bed for two days.
A couple of hours later, while Lincoln sisters were torturing their brother; Ronnie Anne went to the kitchen and noticed a lot of coconuts. Then she noticed Lynn Sr., In his chefs hat and apron dancing; while grating fresh coconut. "Hello there sir, and what's with all of the coconuts?" Lynn smiled as he turned around to see her. "Hi Ronnie Anne, you can call me Lynn. (She nods, as he would continue.) I was inspired by coconuts from Lincoln and his shopping trip; that instead of goulash, I'll be making coconut crusted shrimp. And some Lynnguinni pasta. And if anything left, coconut cookies and coconut cream pies." She smiled as she chuckled. "Man you would give my abuela a run for her money."
Lynn smiled as he knew Rosa is his equal. "Well, I can do what I can." She would was her hands and would be on the counter. "Do you need help with cleaning the shrimp?" He was surprised but didn't mind the help. "Of course, but please be careful with the knife." He watched her clean the shrimp; and was surprised at how she would quickly, and accurately clean out the shrimp. "Whoa! You're an natural! You ought to be a chef some day." She smiled as she couldn't help but smile from that comment. "Well it's a passion that one day I hope to achieve. But I still have a lot to learn." He nods and pats her shoulder. "Don't worry Ronnie Anne, even I still learn a few things from time to time." She nods as she washed her hands from cleaning shrimp, in order to work on the cookies. She chuckled as she asked Lynn a question. "Seriously, why all of the coconut?" Lynn smirked as he was hoping that would be brought up.
"Well when Lincoln returned, I noticed he had a kiss mark and smelled of coconut. (She chuckled as this would be interesting.) I asked him about the coconut scent, and he said it was perfume. (She was in disbelief by Lincoln's story. Then again it was her own fault in that making.) I know that a coconut perfume is synthetic. And I knew a certain lady was thanking him for his help." She blushed as she would chime in. "Alright, I had grabbed lip balm; but in my haste, grabbed a coconut instead." He nods as he couldn't help but smile. A great chef uses all 5 senses; as well as common sense. (He chuckled) I knew he wouldn't straight up tell me he was kissed by a girl. But seeing you, I had an indication it was something more." She blushed as she couldn't contain her laughter. "Alright you win. But I have to admit, I didn't expect to run into him while shopping. And turns out to be a special one."
Meanwhile at the Mercado, Bobby would finally get 5 minutes to himself, after a big swarm of customers. "I never knew people love birds. (He smiled as he received a video call from his girlfriend Lori.) Hey babe! How are you doing?" Lori. , smiled as she was in the kitchen; grabbing a can of seltzer. "Hey boo-boo bear! How is the Mercado doing?" He smiled as he waved to a customer. "Everything going well babe. Found out we had a cache of umbrellas in the basement; and selling them as 'bird shields' for $5." She smiled as she couldn't help but chuckle. "Sorry, Lincoln was picking up Ronnie Anne; and (she laughed) let's just say he wished he had a bird shield." She showed the picture of him in goo and Bobby chuckled.
"Oh babe...(He composed himself before asking.) How is my sis doing?" Lori is watching her cook along with her dad. "Looks like they are making (She smells the food, and it was not goulash.) coconut shrimp." Bobby was drooling, as it sounded yummy. He drooled so hard, he had to wipe the counter off. "Sorry babe, sounds like a lovely dish. Is my sis free for a quick chat?" Lori nods as she would show Ronnie Anne the phone. "Hey bro, how is the bird party?" He smiled and waved to her. "Just doing fine sis. Selling umbrellas, aka bird shields, so they won't have to worry so much. (He sees the shrimp and couldn't help but drool again.) I didn't know you like shrimp sis." She chuckled as she finished coating the last of the shrimp. "Well Lynn got inspired by Lincoln's 'coconut' scent; and it's a coconut fest."
Bobby nods as he sighed, knowing he won't see his sis for a weekend. "Just remember we're here if you need anything." She nods and replies. "I will bro." Bobby smirked as he just finished with a customer. "Just remember no funny stuff with your boyfriend." Ronnie Anne blushed as she couldn't believe her brother. "At least I won't be smooching with Lincoln out in the open. (That pretty much got babe and Bobby boo-boo bear smiling. Ronnie Anne realized and hung up the phone.) Ugh!"
Lori smiled and would pat her shoulder. "We only tease because we care about the two of you. Plus, a bit of payback from all the times you tease us about kissing." She smirked as Ronnie Anne couldn't deny that. "Dang it! Then why everyone makes a big deal about it?" Lori nods and replies "It happens to all of us. We just want you both to be happy. And, you don't have to compare you and Lincoln to me and Bobby. Just stay as you are and things will be ok." Ronnie Anne nods as she hugs Lori. "Thanks." Little did they knew Lynn Sr. was listening in and had to play it off. "Oh don't mind me, just chopping onions." The girls chuckle as there were no onions on the cutting board.
At dinner, everyone seems to enjoy the Lynnguinni pasta dish. But the star of the dinner is the coconut crusted shrimp. "Wow dad, the shrimp is delicious!" Lincoln smiled as this was something he wasn't used to. Lynn Sr. smiled from the praise. "Thanks son. But the one to whom you should thank is Ronnie Anne. She is quite a genius in the kitchen." Ronnie Anne smiled, as she thought it was no big deal. "Oh it's nothing. Was just helping out with the bunch of coconuts." Lincoln wanted to reassure her of her talents. "But Ronnie Anne, you're a natural. You cook like your abuela." She blushed as she couldn't believe him compare her cooking to her grandmother's. "Thanks Lincoln, but still have a lot to learn before.. (She saw Lincoln spoon in some apricot dip onto a shrimp. But the dip was clearly marked.) Lincoln, don't!" She saw him eat the shrimp and didn't winced. Lincoln looked at her confused. "What's wrong Ronnie Anne? The dip is delicious." She was in pure shock as well as Lynn Sr. . Even he had to chime in "Son, that dip contains apricot preserves, wasabi, and has habanero hot sauce Ronnie bought at the store." Lincoln chuckled as that was the reason she freaked out. "Oh that, I've made that mistake once when trying her abuela's tamales. But found out it gave quite a kick and went again and I'm used to it now." Luna couldn't believe her brother. "Told you he's a one savage little dude!" Lynn Jr. laughed at that idea. "Habanero, please. Try the Burpin' Burger 'Fire in the Belly' burger. That will grow hair on your chest. (She chuckled) Or burn it all off, if you have any." Lincoln was curious about that burger and had to ask. "I've never seen that burger in the menu before LJ. How hot is it?" She laughed and answered "Well Stinkolin, it's not for lightweights. A group of boys couldn't even handle one bite." Lincoln was intrigued, but looked at Lana and saw she didn't eat any shrimp. "What's wrong Lana, not a fan of coconut?"
Lana replied "Ugh, why does the shrimp look funny? Probably doesn't taste so good." Lisa would chime in. "Well Shrimp are not necessary, but are arthropods. They look similar to bugs and..." Before she could continue, Lana heard bug and ate her plate. She burped and smiled at her brainy sister. "Thanks for the fun fact Sis!" Lisa sighed as she shook her head and turned to Ronnie Anne. "What Lana meant to say is that the shrimp is delicious." Ronnie Anne smiled as she felt like back at her house during dinner time.
Around 9pm, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were getting ready to head up to the Attic. Luan would gladly pull the cord to reveal the stairs. "Come on up love birds! Everything looks safe." Luan was hoping Lincoln would be the gentleman and let Ronnie Anne go first. As Ronnie Anne was about to get up on the stairs, he saw something funny and knew something wasn't right. "Hold on Ronnie Anne, I'll make sure the stairs are not broken." Luan couldn't believe him and when he got on the 2nd stair, he hit a silent wire, and a coconut cream pie would launch and nail him good. Ronnie Anne couldn't believe her luck and started to laugh. Even the other sisters got a good laugh at that. Luan, not so much as she was mad. "Darn you Lincoln! I wanted Ronnie Anne to get that one! She owes me for that April Fools betrayal!" Lincoln would wipe most of the pie off his face had a smile on his face. "Well you still haven't pranked her yet Luan!" Luan huffed as she would head to her room. She would yell from her room. "You can't protect her forever Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne smiled and kissed his cheek as she couldn't help but smile. "Alright Lame-o, that's twice you save me. I might like this after..." She saw the stares of his sisters and rushed up to the attic. Lincoln would shooo his sisters away, before heading to the bathroom to wash up, before heading up the attic as well.
It was around 10pm, when Ronnie Anne got up from the air mattress; and decided to carefully head downstairs from the attic. She just felt out of place, or rather a bit homesick. It would be the first time being away from her family since summer camp, 6 years ago. She sat on the couch, when she suddenly leaped off, seeing a person emerge from the shadows. "Can't sleep either?" Lucy was in her plain white shirt and black pajama pants, with purple bats all over. She didn't expect company this late. Ronnie Anne composed herself and sat down. "No. But why are you up so late?" Lucy sighed but replied. "Just a weird dream, not a nightmare if your thinking of that." Ronnie Anne sighed as she looked at Lucy. "I can't sleep because my mom and brother are not there. Just feel weird sleeping in another place without them there." Lucy nods as she could relate. "You can't sleep because the maker is not there to protect you. (She sighed before hugging her.) But you shouldn't fret that. Your in a house with 14 people that care about you. Especially my brother. Trust me, you couldn't find someone anyone that will protect you." Ronnie Anne smiled from the hug; but sighed at something eating at her. "I just feel guilty that I should give him more. He put up with my pranks; and he even risked life and limb to save me at that shopping experience."
Before she could ramble on, Lucy would poke her nose. "Don't worry about it. Him seeing you happy is the best gift you can give him. (With a rare smile on her face) Besides, you two are just starting on this crazy journey of love. No love story is ever the same. We create our own story and hope for the best. I say don't rush it now; and enjoy the moment." Ronnie Anne smiled and hugs Lucy again. "Thanks Lucy." Lucy smiled and disappears in the shadows. Ronnie Anne pulled out her cellphone and would soon call mom.
Back in the city, Maria just in from her shift as a nurse; when she saw on her cell who it was. "Good evening sweetie, how are you doing? And it's past your bedtime." Ronnie Anne smiled as she answered "Sorry mom, was a little homesick not seeing you. But okay now after a little chat." Maria nods, as she has that feeling. Oh Ronnie Anne, don't worry we're thinking about you too. Besides, I'm sure you're having a great time here. (Maria smirked and chuckled) I hear you can cook shrimp like a pro." Ronnie Anne chuckled and replies "Bobby couldn't help but brag about that shrimp." Maria smiled as she would wipe a tear; knowing her baby can cook. "How are you and your boyfriend doing?" Ronnie Anne blushed as that was something she didn't expect. "We're fine mom, nothing new or exciting." Maria smirked, as she'll get the info from Lori or her son. "Alright, we'll talk more in the morning, okay sweetie?" Ronnie Anne smiled and nods. "I will, love you mom." Maria replied "I love you too."
Ronnie Anne smiled as she would lie back on the couch. She blinked as she saw a blanket on her; and turned her head to see Lincoln. "Hey Lincoln (she blushed slightly) can't sleep either?" He shook his head no. "Was wondering what happened to you? Probably needed to look for something more comfortable to sleep in?" She looked at him, and couldn't help but blush and would kiss his cheek gently. "Alright lame-o, just remember not to snore." He chuckled as he got up on the couch next to her. "That's LJ and Lucy you have to avoid the snoring." She chuckled, before yawning. "Good night Lincoln." Lincoln replied "Good night Ronnie Anne."
[] Sorry for the long long delay. Long work days, multiple story ideas, and not much sleep. I'll sum it up best, life can be a witch. But will try to get in the last 2 chapters of their sleepover. as soon as I can []
